    I think the "internet manners & protocol police" are overreacting. Unless I skipped over some comments I don't see any attacks on Blackburn What I see is a lot people mocking his performance on the field. What's wrong with that?

    Seth any I idea on who is in the kernels starting rotation?
  3. clutterheart
    wait. I mean this year
  4. clutterheart
    Good luck next year.

    Other teams figured out how to do go above slot w/o paying the luxery tax. And my memory says the Twins left money on the table - but I could be wrong about this.

    This article shows the twins still know nothing about advanced statistics.Pitch f/x is a tool just like a radar gun. But it has nothing to do with advanced metrics. Embarrassing.

    It was great the FO took the risk on this HS pitcher and spent the extra money to sign him. I wish they could have done more of the same in the 2012 draft. He is the type of High Upside arm every system needs.

    "I don't think the Twins are getting enough credit for their draft picks over the past two years." I sort of agree with this but I wish they would have went after some higher upside HS arms last year. However, I really agree that the twins are not getting credit for their international FA signings. 3 out of your top ten were not drafted: Arcia - International Free Agent Sano - International Free Agent Kepler - International Free Agent Pretty good scouting down there - though Sano kind of fell into their laps, but who is counting! These are guys who any other team could have got but the Twins go there first.

    I think I ready somewhere that the Mex lg has smaller parks and can be very hitter friendly. So let's not go overboard here.

    Not bad. A decent upside / low risk type of move. I'll be this is the same deal the offered to Baker
  11. clutterheart
    Who was fooled and how? Did anyone think they were going to get any big name pitchers? If so they were just hoping as Ryan was pretty clear that none of those big names were going

    You don't have my all time Favorite super sleeper in this list: Randy Rosario Stats, Bio, Photos, Highlights | MiLB.com Stats | The Official Site of Minor League Baseball 18 Years Old Lefty Extreme Ground Ball pitcher - Has not given up a HR in 23 professional games 42 SO in 38 IP. I would put him somewhere in the top 50

    Levi is not a good player right now. He can't play SS, He can't seem to hit and he has played himself out of the prospect list. I have no problem with that at all. He will repeat at the FSL this year, maybe he can figure it out.

    Nice List Interesting that you have Hicks / Arcia above Buxton but Gibson below Berrios & Meyer. I assume you have Hicks / Arcia high because they are closer, but Gibson falls to the upside of Berrios and Meyer. - I'm not calling you out, I see this a lot and I just think its interesting. I would put it: Sano Buxton Meyer Hicks Arcia Gibson Berrios Rosario May Kepler But...the best thing is The Twins System is PACKED with high upside players with more to come in June...awesome

    I have yet to see Ryan directly ask and answer the worst thing about this move: Why the extra year? If it was one year, fine who cares...but two?!?!? I am still befuddled.
  16. clutterheart
    I hope you are right. But I don't think he has the power to be a corner guy and he is not fast enough to be a CF. I see him as a 4th OF who can get on base. If he could play 2B he would be a fantastic super utility guy because his on base skills would translate well to a pinch hitter. Also, I wouldn't say he mashed at every level. He has done good but not great everywhere except Arizona where he was unreal. He is not all that young for his level so it would get him back on track to be at AA to start the year next year. If Hicks or Arcia start the year on the big league roster it will help move up a level and officially pass a prospect like Morales. But I like his answer regarding health. If he stays healthy the whole year he could jump up in some prospect rankings.

    Why don't you like WAR? I am worried about Parmelee's defense bringing his value down. He is really going to have to hit to be of positive value
  18. clutterheart
    How could you not ask him about his facial hair?!?!? Its one of the Best in all of Baseball. Is there any hope that he tries to convert to a 2B position? Or am I just dreaming.

    Booo you are just like my developer at work. He never tests with IE and when it has problems he says "who the hell still uses IE?" My answer...OUR CUSTOMERS

    Me too I made FANTASTIC Comments and I can't re-read them and pat myself on the back. Running an intentionally out of date Firefox browser and logged in. It also replicated on my mobile which is the standard browser that comes with an Android phone.

    Here is a real paradigm shift. Time to trade Mauer and let the real rebuild start.
  22. clutterheart
    Not happy about this. His ERA is not great, his FIP is not great. But...whatever, he is a 4-5 starter. Unless they surprise me, its clear the Twins are rebuilding this year. Just get some warm bodies to keep Gibson in AAA and wait for 2014. I am glad I didn't go in on season tickets this year. I loved the trades and they were the right thing to do. However, to not spend money and go after some of the top line FA pitchers is just a big 'ol shame. Mauer's career is wasted. MAYBE he gets a chance to play for something in the 2015 - 2016 years. But the reality is he will be a great player on a ****ty team for at least the next 2-3 years. I think its time to consider trading Mauer to Boston and let him play for rings and a HOF career instead of languishing on Terry Ryan's penny pinched roster.
  23. clutterheart
    Good luck next year. It's a fun read. Hope to see him in CR next year.

    2013 is written off as far as I am concerned. If you are going to do it, do it right. Trade Mauer. Trade Morneau. Trade Willingham.
  25. clutterheart
    Ryan needs to understand the market has changed. He needs to pay the market price for a decent pitcher. If he refuses to do this and fans continue pat his back by saying "that guy is too expensive" its time to trade Mauer because they aren't going to compete for at least 2-3 years due to their lack of pitching.
